NIFA Notice of Intent to Extend and Revise Information Collection
Summary
The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) has issued a notice of intent to extend and revise a previously approved information collection. The agency is seeking public comment on the proposed changes to the collection.
What changed
The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), part of the Department of Agriculture, has published a notice announcing its intent to extend and revise an existing, previously approved information collection. This action is a procedural step to continue or modify data gathering activities under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The specific details of the proposed revisions to the information collection are not detailed in this notice, but it signals NIFA's intention to maintain or alter its data collection processes.
Regulated entities or individuals who interact with NIFA's data collection programs should review this notice. Public comments on the proposed extension and revision are being accepted until February 4, 2025. While this notice itself does not impose new direct obligations, understanding the nature of the information collection and providing feedback during the comment period is crucial for those affected by NIFA's data requirements. Failure to comment may result in the continuation or revision of the collection without consideration of stakeholder input.
What to do next
- Review the notice for details on the information collection being extended and revised.
- Submit comments by February 4, 2025, if affected by the information collection.

Legal Status This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.
For complete information about, and access to, our official publications
and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Organizational Information.
OMB Control Number: 0524-0026.
Expiration Date of Current Approval: 3/31/2025.
Type of Request: Notice of intent to extend for three years and revise a previously approved information collection.
Abstract: NIFA has primary responsibility for providing connection between the Federal and State components of a broad-based, national agricultural research, extension, and education system. Focused on national issues, its purpose is to represent the Secretary of Agriculture and carry out the intent of Congress by administering capacity and grant funds appropriated for agricultural research, extension, and education. Before awards can be made, certain information is required from applicants to effectively assess the potential recipient's capacity to manage Federal funds.
The Organizational Information Form enables NIFA to determine that the applicants recommended for awards will be responsible recipients of Federal funds.
The information requested from the applicant pertains to the organizational and financial management of the potential grantee. This form and the attached applicant documents provide NIFA with information such as the legal name of the organization; certification that the organization has the legal authority to accept Federal funding; identification and signatures of the organization's key officials; the organization's policies for employee compensation and benefits; evidence of equipment insurance; the organization's policies on subcontracting with other organizations; evidence of the financial condition of the organization; and certification that the organization is not delinquent on Federal taxes. NIFA considers all this information prior to award, to determine the grantee is both managerially and fiscally responsible. This information is submitted to NIFA on a one-time basis and updated accordingly. If material changes occur within the organization, the grantee must submit revised information.
NIFA is proposing to update the form to ensure that it reflects the latest statutory and regulatory requirements, including updates to 2 CFR Part 200 —Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. NIFA also proposes to rename the form to the “Organizational Information Form,” and update the format of the form itself to improve accessibility.
Estimate of Burden: The total annual estimated burden for this information collection is 945 hours.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 150.
Annual responses: 150.
Average time to complete each response: 6.3 hours.
Burden hours: 945.
Comments: Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
All responses to this notice will be summarized and included in the request to OMB for approval. All comments will become a matter of public record.
Obtaining a Copy of the Information Collection: A copy of the information collection and related instructions may be obtained free of charge by contacting Laura Givens as directed above.
Done at Washington, DC, this day of October 1, 2024.
